FOR THE WOMEN.
PLEA FOR SHORT SKIRTS

a Plea fse Thsn - Agalnss The Diviao0
On the subject of short skirts q writ.
er in the Woman's .'oassal says: /
still maintain that the present short
skirts which ladies wear are short
enough to protect them from the most
perverse weather and the deepest snow
and mud often seen in the streets Of
Europe. have seen many lands, in
GLIDING Russia, Denmark. Holland,
Germany and Switzerland, in rain,
snow and sunshine. In all those cOun-
tries the working-women. even those
who work in the fields, wear skirts
short enough to keep them from the
ground. but no shorter. II such a
dress sufiices even for country women
who work in the fields in all weathers
in every country Of Europe, why should
they not be convenient enough for
equally rough work in America? Let
us not be so fixed upon one subject as
to be blind to justice. even to short
skirt. merely because it is fashionable.
Surely, what suits a woman in the
mountains of Switzerland. in the
swamps Of Holland. and in the SHOWS
of Russia, ought to be equally suit

busy, handwriting women of Amer

has something of the Scotch-Higli-

man "broom-girl." do not know
whether it would find favor with
American ladies. but it would be-
preferable to divided skirts. or to or
binary trousers, as worn by men,
which get even more dirty than our
present fashionable short skirts.
Perhaps you will think that 1 am

short skirts, as now worn, our preju-
dice must be very strong against the

first met to devise plans in 1854. When
the war broke out. the fun ds amounted

Mrs. Snowden. saved this from the

AChicago bank man who has love-

club the other day by way Of illustrate

had said to him: '.Dear, now I'm not

The gentleman was struck with the
idea. ..After ALL" he said to himself.
'this marriage scrape I've got myself
into promises to pan out. Dear, good
little woman! How thoughtful Of her!
Why, of course!'' So he drew a check
on his own bank. deposited it in an
other bank to his wife's individual
credit, and gave her q separate bank
and check book. WOmanlike, she
tossed the bank-book into drawer.
but held religiously to the check-bOOk.
Long before the month had expired she
got notice from the bank that her ac-
count was exhausted. and the last check
had overdrawn it $1.79. would she
kindly make a new deposit?"
The lady was in furious fuMe.
There must be something wrong. she
knew. She pored over her check-book.
counted the stubs and the blank checks.
and then she knew that the bank had
made blunder. She donned her new
bonnet and wrap. and full of the spirit
of the occasion and the outrage Of the
banks insult sailed into the cashier at
his window.
what does this notice mean?" she
asked. in voice quivering with pas

ut means that your account is over

ut is not. sir. My husband gave me
this check-book. and you see yourself
that out of the hundred checks in it 1

sir; see for yourself. Of course. you'll

"But, my dear madam, don't you see

Il just don't care any thing about
that. My husband gave me a check
book. and here less than half of them
are used. Do you mean to say am
going to lose all of those checks? Well.
I'll go and see my husband about it.

DAZZLING MILLIONS.
Glowing ssReview of Southern
Crops and Business.

BALTIMORE, August 3o.-The
anufactmurers> Record ofthis week
contains about five pages of special
reports from the entire South as 10
the crops and Condition of bust
ness. The corn crop of the South
is approximately large, exceed.
ing the yield of 1886 by over So
100000 bushels, the yield of 1885
757, 900, 600 bushels and the yield
of 1884 by 107, 900, 900 bushels.
The South will this year, it is said,
be nearly self-supporting in the
matter ofcorn, aud many millions
OF dollars that have heretofore
gone West for corn will this sea.
SOB be saved to Southern farmers.
While the recent unfavorable
weather has damaged to some ex-
tent the cotton prospects which a
month ago promised such an enor
nous crop, the crop will still be a
large one. The advanced prices for
tobacco will, it is claimed. counter
balance to the farmer the decrease
in yield, due mainly to decreased
acreage. Other crops have, with
few exceptions, been very good,
and it is said that the farmers will
enjoy greater prosperity than for
many seasons. Business prospects
are reported brighter than ever be-
fore and one correspondent pre-,
diets that this will be noted as a
debt-paying year.

Don't Marry for Money, Girls.

This is some advice in the Wo-
mans Home Journal; Girls don't
marry man for money, position
or anything but love. Don't do 1t
if you want to live to good old
age and be happy, You may think
that money can bring you all you
desire, but it can't. That is where
you are mistaken. It can buy a
good many things. but Can never
purchase contentment for your
heart. or happiness Tor your soul.
1t may bring temporary smiles to
your face, but it will leave great
shadows il your heart. For Heav.
ems sake dont't marry q millionaire
or king, if you don't love him.
1t will not do, People have tried
it time and again, only to find it
miserable failure. 1t may do for
while. You may revei in gilded
halls, and be lost in the giddy
rounds of pleasure, but a time will
come when these things will be a
hollow mockery to you, There
will be an aching void" the world
can never fill, Sometimes mothers
are to blame for the unhappiness of
their daughters. They teach them
that respect for their husband and
lots of "boodle" are infinitely to be
preferred to that foolishness called
love.
That would do very we'll if life
had no waves of trouble, but il
takes something more than simple
respect to make two hearts cling
together in the hour of adversely.
A woman that turns her back on
wealth and takes the man of her
choice may mis- some of the luxu-
ries OF lite, but she will be happy
Don't marry a dude. Better get
you monkey. 1t is cheaper and
a great deal nicer. Don't fool
with that class Of animals. They
generally wear SO hat on a 10
cent brain, and a woman who
takes one of these chaps will get
left.
